Huntsman Hill:  A Music Retrospective

EP223: The Cure "Faith"


Listen Later

The Cure’s third long player doubles down on the despair that began with 1980’s “Seventeen Seconds” and would culminate on 1982’s “Pornography.” Of the three “Faith” feels the most personal to singer songwriter Robert Smith as the increasingly personal lyrics detail a world of a drowning man whose doubt of his own faith increases as other voices interrupt his primary colored world seeing all cats  turning to grey during the holy hour of a funeral party dedicated to his grandparents passing.  Good pal Dave Lutes joins us to dissect it all.      RIP Frank Kozik  RIP Bob Nalbandian   Recommended Listening:   HHPP EP189:  Seventeen Seconds https://huntsmanhill.com/2022/08/28/ep189-the-cure-seventeen-seconds/   “Carnage Visors” https://open.spotify.com/track/58ixPhF0Ib5ehj0xlKp0Fq?si=ee1c1988869c4889   The National “Eucalyptus" https://open.spotify.com/track/7mUbWcWPImNVcLcNewe2Dy?si=c17f3ea026c54f39    Podcast “Replayable”  https://open.spotify.com/show/0BJnmGS6WLRNAesh4f5ij1?si=f5c7a4242ab84785   Academy O.C. “Binary” https://open.spotify.com/track/2tkIAcUglPhAOfKYfe02kY?si=54b1e33aa1774a37   Contact us at:  [email protected] Spotify Playlist:  https://open.spotify.com/user/1298220429/playlist/4gy1wWwypkoFS2lUztvZ44?si=waSq07DBQlq3x9G1_nK0pg   HHPP Amazon Affiliates Store https://huntsmanhill.com/2022/06/09/hhpp-store/   Our Music manhuntsman:  https://open.spotify.com/artist/7tFBWn0UFkdOEMf67TRD6W?si=vzllkbDwSEmfZFlj02GLRw Academy O.C:  https://academyoc.bandcamp.com/album/academy-o-c   Omertà 68:  https://open.spotify.com/artist/6dfiCa0qTlbPQUrqtIkStS?si=6SCjNtXbSO2xRBDuBKJelQ   huntsmanhill.com instagram.com/huntsmanhill https://twitter.com/HuntsmanHill
